Smoked goat soup

#1 Post by looseplucker » Mon Jun 21, 2010 1:47 pm

Made by a mad Irish mate from a recent kill. I had taken the rib section and rubbed with creole seasoning and then hot smoked (hickory) before hand.

INGREDIENTS

Full right or left handed rib section of young goat (you can use backstrap or a leg or whatever - but the rib looks pretty good)

Three tbs virgin olive oil.

One Spanish (red) onion, finely sliced (you must shout "ole" whilst
chopping)

Three cloves of good garlic (not the Chinese or Russian rubbish)

two stalks of celery, (finely diced)

two carrots, (finely diced)

three potatoes (finely diced)

one zucchini (finely diced)

one tin or three fresh tomatoes (chopped)

one cup of green lentils, soaked overnight

three or four cups fresh vegetable or veal or beef stock

two bay leaves

ten large sage leaves, torn

three sprigs of thyme (leaves only)

one tbs good curry powder (or make your own)

tablespoon of blood plum finishing vinegar or another high quality, fruity vinegar.

Salt and black pepper, to taste


METHOD,

(cook for two minutes after each ingredient after the onions is added)

Heat olive oil in a heavy based pot.

Sweat the onions (cook very slowly)

Add salt and pepper to onions whilst cooking

Add bay leaves and other herbs

Add tinned or fresh chopped tomatoes

Add curry powder

Add all the vegetables, except the zucchini

Add two table spoons of plain flour

Add smoked goat rib section

Add vinegar of choice

Add stock

Bring slowly to boil and adjust seasoning

Cook slowly with lid on for up to two hours

After 90 minutes, add zucchini

When the soup is finished, first extract the rib section; trim off the meat and return to soup for a further five minutes.

Serve with crusty bread and eleven pints of Guinness

No mad Irishman would drink only 11 pints of Guiness!

Good recipe, We'll try it some time.
Did he use your stock of rib?

Yep - I kept the hind and forelegs and smoked the rib section and backstrap and gave that to him.

Time to go get some more!
